Titles of nobility are likely to become cheap
In Austria before long. A new army minute
provides that every officer of irreproachable
conduct who has worn the imperial uniform
for thirty years unip.aTuptedly, and has
gone through at leass one campaign, will,
upon demand, be ennobled by the kaiser and
the fees usually payable upon ennoblement
will be RENTED. Another regulation estab-
lished by the same minute deals with very
different matter-the easy recognition Of Of
ficers and men who fall in battle. In future,
whenever the Austro- Hungarian army is
modified, each combatant is to have de-
livered to him a small strip of parchment in
scribed with his name, rank and regiment;
and this ticket of identity is TO be kept in a
pocket which will be purposely made in every
pair of breaches. After o battle the tickets
would be taken from the bodies of the dead
and forwarded to headquarters. Some such
system has long been in operation in the Ger
man army.-St James Gazette.

The sanitary woman is abroad; no place is
sacred to her, and no human being is free
from her fads She tests the air we breathe,
the clothes we wear, the friends we have, and
tradition she scorns as she does dust. l hate
the sanitary woman. l am perfectly willing
to live on, as did my grandmothers, without
knowledge of sanitary blessings, In fact,
am rather given to believe that they are not
blessings, She is the most uncomfortable
person OF any that can be imagined On her
arrival in your house she carefully inspects
the plumbing, she criticises the food, unless
it belongs to the special health variety that
she upholds. She tries to convince you that
you are not clothed right and she is, and the
fact that she looks guy and you don't only
adds to her indignation, and nine times out
Of ten, uEes she is very well bred and really
slightly insane, she manages to call you a

Pretty Wall Ornaments,

One Of the prettiest wall ornaments i'm
aginable has for foundation the antique
palm leaf fan, which supports southern tan
gle of Spanish moss, rice, millet and cotton
balls, tied in carelessly graceful fashion
with bow of white ribbon The moss should
be spread to cover the fan almost completely,
forming soft background for the clustered
trifles
A wooden plate can be covered with the fat
gray moss found on old stones and fences
Attach it with glue, and when perfectly dry
glue on little irregular twig, putting bits of
moss on this also, and when the twig is firmly
fastened mount bird or birds nest with
eggs, and you have pretty PLAGUE for the
wall, which can be varied to suit any ca
price or condition. If the wall is dark place

RoTHscHitp's TERRIBLE REVENGE.
How Retribusion Once Overlook the Bank
of Englaud-No Laughing Matter.

How Retribution Once Overlook the Bank
of Engiand-No Laughing Matter.
An amusing adventure is related as having
happened to the Bank of England, which had
committed the objectionable sin of refusing
to discount a large bill drawn by Anselm
Rothschild, of Frankfort on Nathan Roths-
child. of London. The bank had haughtily
replied that they discounted only their own
bills, not those of private persons; but they
had to do with one stronger than the bank.
s'Private persons!" exclaimed Nathan when
the fact was reported to him. Il will make
these gentlemen see what kind Of private
persons we are"
Three weeks later Nathan Rothschild-who
had employed the interval in gathering all
the e5 notes he could procure in England and
on the eontinent-presented himself at the
bank. He drew from his pocketbook IS
note, and they naturally counted ont five
sovereigns, at the same time looking quite
astonished that the Baron Rothschild should
have personally troubled himself for such a
triae The baron examined one by one the
coins, and put them In a little canvas bag;
then drawing out another note--a third-a
tenth--a hundredth-he never put the pieces
of gold into the bag without scrupulously ex-
amining them, and in some instances trying
them in the balance, as the law gave him the
right to do.
The first pocketbook being eGnptied and the
first bag full, he passed them to his clerk and
received a second, and thus continued till the
oank closed. The baron had employed seven
hours to change col, 900, but as he had also
nine employees of his house engaged in the
tame manner, it resulted that the house of
Rothschid had drawn f2l0, 600 in gold from
the Bank of England, and that he had so oc-
cupied the tellers that no other person could
change single note.
Everything which bears the stamp of eccen-
tricity has always pleased the English. They
were, therefore, the first day very much
amused at the little pique of Baron Roths-
child They laughed less when they saw him
return the next day, at the opening of the
hank, thanked by his nine clerks, and followed
this time by drays to carry away the specie.
They laughed not at ali when the king of
bankers said with irnnic simplicity:
These gentlemen have refused to pay my
bills have sworn not to keep theirs, At
their leisure-only / notify them that l have
enough to employ them for two months
For two mUnths'
Eleven millions in gold drawn from the
Bank of England which they have never
possessed"
The hank took alarm. There was some
thing to be done Next morning notice ap-
peared in the journals that henceforth the
bank would pay Rothschiids bills the same as
their o1n-Detroit Free Press.
